A New Windsor man pleaded not guilty Wednesday in U.S. District Court in White Plains to possessing and distributing child pornography.

Stephen Wanko, 40, was taken into custody on June 19 after authorities searched his home and computer. He told federal agents then that he had been downloading child pornography for four to five years, most recently just two or three days before agents arrived, according to court papers.
